How
cold was it yesterday? Cold enough to vaporize water, according to Devin
Biggs. Biggs said he boiled water, then took it outside and threw it into
the air. It evaporated immediately with no water actually touching the
ground. At the time of Biggs' experiment, it was 4 degrees below zero with a wind
chill factor of minus 22.

Time
to dig out. On Monday folks like this fellow above found themselves in
high demand in Lincoln as they donned several layers of clothing and took to the
streets with their snowblowers. Sunday's snowstorm dumped about 7 inches
in this area, and that on top of 2 to 3 inches from last week. So,
hold on to your shovels. There is a strong possibility of more snow later
this week. However, there is also a promise that temperatures will be
rising.

Pictured above are David and Shana Ginger of Lincoln and their
newborn daughter, Aeris Mae. Aeris is the first baby of the new year born
at Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital in Lincoln. Congratulations to the
Gingers on their new and historic arrival.
